World's first Innovative canal-top solar power plant in India

Narendra Modi speaks to media after opening India's first canal-top solar power plant near Ahmedabad on Sanand-Kadi road. 90 lakh liter water would be saved from evaporation per year due to solar panels over the canal in one km stretch. This would satisfy power need of 7-8,000 rural houses or around 20-25,000 people.
